The sixth language translation of the APMG Certified Public-Private Partnerships has arrived. Brazilian Portuguese is the latest translation to be added to the rapidly growing CP3P program which has certified almost 3000 professionals in over 100 countries.
The translation has been curated and approved by the InterAmerican Development Bank, as a part of the Bank’s effort to support the implementation of effective PPPs in Latin America. “The certification program is one of the most disruptive innovations in the context of MDB’s support of the use of PPP in a long time. It addresses the long-standing challenge of capacity building in emerging markets from a very innovative approach: creating a universal language and common ground so governments, investors and other stakeholders can understand each other, learn from each other and build, together, a common ground,” said Marcos Siqueira, PPP Senior Specialist of the Inter-American Development Bank.
“The Portuguese version will add professionals from some of the most active PPP markets in the world to a growing network that incorporates links every day. This will create and disseminate knowledge and good practices and ultimately promote IDBs vision of Improving Lives through better and effective infrastructure.”
South American training organisation Radar PPP says, “Brazil is a continental-size country. For instance, we have over 5,700 different public authorities at municipal level. And, due to a number of circumstances - such as fiscal crisis and, more recently, a rising concern about the quality of government spending - there is increased demand in private investment in public infrastructure. Because of this, the search for the knowledge that can be found in the PPP Guide has significantly increased in the past year. However, it was restrained by the language limitation and it’s outstanding that APMG International, together with the MDB’s, quickly managed to provide a solution to make to make the knowledge available for everyone,” said Guilherme Naves, Partner, Radar PPP.
The Brazilian Portuguese translation of Chapter 1 of the PPP Guide is a free downloadable resource to help candidates prepare for the foundation exam. Candidates can also choose to take the Foundation exam in Brazilian Portuguese.
“The Portuguese translation of the PPP Guide is another essential component of the PPP Certification program. The combined efforts of APMG, Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank to bring this translation to market, reflect our commitment to the smart and sustainable use of PPPs in Brazil,” said Abha Joshi-Ghani, Senior Advisor, Head of infrastructure, Analytics, and Programs, World Bank Group.
The PPP Certification Program comprises three examinations: Foundation, Preparation and Execution. The Foundation exam is a pre-requisite for sitting the two higher level exams. Candidates who sit all three exams can collect their CP3P digital badge to share on social media demonstrating they are a Certified PPP Professional.
